“A Friday that tasted like Saturday – write the organizers of the Comics on their Instagram page after midnight – we exceeded 20 thousand visitors on the first dayalmost double compared to last year”.
Termoli Comics literally explodes and brings to the city on the first day of the second edition, Friday 21 June, 20 thousand people for the inaugural afternoon of the stands and the fair that runs from Piazza Monumento to the port it animates, colours, wakes up and welcomes people, cosplayers, enthusiasts, the curious, families, adults and children.
On his Facebook page, a few hours before the start of the magical ride, too Pierfrancesco Citriniti, TV face of Propaganda Live from Termoli, praised the work done by Nicola Palmieri and Mario Palladino together with their staff to bring the second edition of Comics to the city.
“I can’t help but feel a deep sense of pride and gratitude – he writes, addressing the citizens – This event is not just a celebration of pop culture and imagination, but represents also an invaluable opportunity for our beloved city.
Termoli Comics is the starting point for making Termoli known to the world entire, to showcase our ability to create and host events that resonate far beyond local borders. This is our time to shine, to highlight the beauty and vitality of our community. I would like to express heartfelt thanks to #qdss Mario Synergo Palladino and Nicola Palmieri. Their ingenuity and their love for this area give us such a special event. An event that reminds us how lucky we are to live in a place that knows how to reinvent itself and surprise. Dear Mario and Nicola, a pat on the back, a thank you and a smile are the least we can offer you for everything you have done.
I invite all of you, fellow citizens, to enjoy the streets of Termoli, to let yourself be moved and enthused by this unique experience. Don’t take anything in life for granted, because every moment can be an extraordinary opportunity if we choose to actively participate in the life of our community. To Mario and Nicola, simply, thank you. Thank you for giving us this priceless treasure. Termoli Comics is not just an event, it is a symbol that they have given us and that we can animate together.”
And apparently the citizens of Termoli did not hold back, but on the contrary crowded the streets of the centre, using the app created for the event to find out about appointments, places and times, meet cosplayers and steal a souvenir photo from them, discover the vast world of comics in the stands set up in the village, immerse yourself in the kingdom of Dragon Ball under the castle and see some parts of the Larino Carnival floats up close.
Even today, Saturday 22 June, the program is full with the opening of the fair in the afternoon and then the events, with the Gem Boy concert on the stage in Piazza Monumento.
